M Query replace rich text

Hi everyone,

 

I am new to M so any help kindly appreciated.

 

I am trying to replace a rich text <br/M with a carriage return. I tried this:

 

RemSpace = Text.Replace(Source,"&nbsp"," ") ,
RemCR = Text.Replace(RemSpace,"<br />","#(cr,lf)"),

 

The first one works well but the second doesn't work at all.  Any idea's?

Actually, I got it wrong but thanks anyway..

 

This worked...

 

ReplaceHTMLBR= Text.Replace(RemSpace,"<br />","#(lf)#(cr)")

 

I did not notice a difference between lf and cr or cr and lf. I'm remembering the type writer!
